Well in a move that everyone saw coming, BioWare announced that Mass Effect will be coming to the PC this May. Oh, and after paying $775 million, you better believe Mass Effect will be coming to PS3 as well by Christmas.

LOL fucking dumb cunt ps3 are never going to get their hands on this game the fact is why would bioware port this game to ps3 when the game is so popular that those who want to play the game will actually go buy an xbox 360 for it… so when a game is able to do that no doubt the company will not waste money on porting
even though this article is a year old, even back then everyone knew that this game wouldnt be coming to ps3, microsoft and bioware made a deal of exclusivity of a triology of games to the xbox 360, and which is why xbox 360 will get mass effect 2 and 3 while ps3 will never get their hands on it.
the fact is that ps3 is losing its games
its alredy lost left 4 dead because they believed it wouldnt have been worth investing, (which they were dead wrong after seeing how many awards it has won)
they lost the gears of war series and halo, mass effect, section 8 and even APB

AND the new Splinter Cell is going to be on Xbox 360 only as well — MS paid EA for that exclusive release as well.
I normally wouldn’t be bummed about that, but the Ubisoft team that had their hands all over Assassin’s Creed and Prince of Persia are also doing the new Splinter Cell which has an really fantastic new art styling to it… mission objectives are overlayed into the scene live and interactive scripted sequences help move along story as well as make you feel like the ultimate spy badass:

I’d say that Sony can’t compete at the software level with Microsoft — Microsoft understands multiplayer, understands social… Sony doesn’t understand any of this. If you’ve hopped on the PS3 and tried to play a multiplayer game with a friend, it’s exactly like it was in the early 1990s on the PC… every single game has to provide it’s own support for multiplayer. No universal chat like the party system in Xbox 360… it’s incredibly stupid.
Sony sits on the side lines touting their own horn for how advanced their technology is… I’m sure it’s brilliantly advanced, but no one is using it — all the while Microsoft is providing a better, more cohesive gaming *experience*.
Anyway, I agree with your assessment.
